as-salamu alaykom,
There are some issues with BiCon:
1. Some errors appear when starting & stopping BiCon in virtual
console. Please see start.txt that is attached with this email.
2. BiCon doesn't update the windowsize when gnome-terminal gets resized.
3. While typing arabic text, joining & RTL is not done. Please see
typing_arabic.png which is a screenshot of what happens when I type
arabic in a vim session (same thing happens in mutt and elinks).
4. In a program like 'snownews' the highlighted item get aligned to right,
while the other items get aligned to left. Please see the attached snownews.png.
5. When viewing my inbox in 'mutt', I got a case where one of the senders has
his name in arabic, while the email subject is in english. In this case
the sender name is on the right, while the subject is on the left, while
for the rest of the emails, the sender's name column is on the left of the
subject column. Please see the attached mutt.png, I have put a red arrow
infront of the case I mentioned.
6. When viewing an arabic webpage using 'elinks', the page is rendered in the
opposite direction to that it should be, attached with this email is
elinks.png, which resulted when I browsed to the website
http://islammemo.cc. Note that the menu that starts with "أخبار
اليوم" is on the left of the webpage, while if you browse that site
using Firefox, you'll find that it is on the right of the webpage.
Also please note that the terminal tab height became thicker
compared to the other screenshots.
